A house rewire replaces the cables that feed lights, sockets and fixed appliances, then finishes with a new consumer unit and a certificate. The written quote names the rooms and circuits before we start.
A rewire is for homes where the cables, sockets or fuse board no longer match how the house is used. We work on family houses, rentals and small commercial premises in Colchester and the towns around it.
Many Victorian and interwar houses in Lexden, New Town and the Dutch Quarter still have rubber or early PVC cables. Those cables crack, overheat and fail an EICR, the electrical safety report. A rewire replaces them with new circuits sized for today's loads.
Landlords in Witham, Tiptree and Kelvedon often book a rewire after an EICR flags C1 or C2 faults on the original wiring. We quote the rooms that need new cables and leave you with a certificate you can show a tenant or agent.
Owners in Wivenhoe, Stanway and West Mersea book a rewire when they open walls for a kitchen, loft or rear extension. Running new cables while the plaster is off is cheaper than chasing finished rooms later.
If the fuse board trips, sockets feel warm, or lights flicker in more than one room, the wiring itself is often the cause. We trace the circuits first, then quote a full or partial rewire rather than patching one fault at a time.
We arrive, protect the floors, then work room by room until the new circuits are live and certified.
We introduce ourselves, walk the rooms on the quote, and isolate the old circuits at the fuse board. Furniture is moved only as far as needed to reach walls and ceilings.
Old cables come out, new ones go in, and sockets and switches go back on. The new consumer unit is fitted last so every circuit lands on a marked breaker.
We test continuity, insulation and earth on every circuit, then issue the Electrical Installation Certificate before we leave. You keep a copy for the house file or a future sale.
You are left with new circuits that match the rooms on the quote, a working fuse board, and paperwork that names what was done.
The quote states whether every habitable room is on new cables or only the rooms that failed. Nothing is added later without a fresh written price.
We make good the chases we cut. A plasterer or decorator still owns the final wall finish, and kitchen or bathroom fitters still own their own trades.
Lighting Electrical charges £2,400 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
Our rate for this work is £2,400. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

House rewiring starts from £2,400 for a typical three bedroom house. Larger homes, extra circuits or work through finished walls cost more, and the written quote sets the figure for your property.
A small terrace can be done in a few days. A larger detached house with loft work often takes longer. We put the number of days on the quote so you can plan around empty rooms.
Most owners stay, using one live circuit while we work through the rest of the house. If the whole board has to come off on day one, we tell you that before we book the start date.
